Information Larry C. would like to know about your pet

If there are any does and don't with the fur baby and or walking locations around the neighborhood to watch out for or if they have favorite spots. Also if they have any neighborhood friends or enemies to also be on the lookout foe during scheduled visits and sits

A typical day

So usually what I noticed with most biscuits in all breeds, is that there is a little sadness in the first few days of their human leaving. So what i try to do is stick to as close there usual routine as if the parents are there. I find it helps the slight feeling of normalcy for them and continue that trend until the parents return. This usually includes lots of snuggles and or treats if parents allow. Also a super early power walk or outside time if they have the energy for it.

I love all fur babies! Its my Joy

Pet care experience

I like most, have been around fur babies most of my life. Ive been walking and sitting since 2014. They give the best snuggles and emotional fulfillment that you just can't get anywhere else. Im experienced with medication needs and special requirements if there are any physical issues or injuries that l need to keep an eye on. Ive been sitting Regularly for the past 9 years and its given me the opportunity to work with so many different breed, personalities from 10lb biscuits to 144lb bundles of pup. I always strive to create and maintain a strong sense of family with every animal I meet. I also don't mind any to-do lists during the sit either with the Fur babies or the House. I like to say that Im full service if the need arises

My Bella Dora was well attended to and I could tell how well taken care of she was by her temperament when I returned home. Larry gave her so much attention, I know she will miss him until I use him again.

Larry was an excellent dog sitter. He kept me updated throughout my time away with frequent messages and great photos, which gave me real peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Larry is also very neat, responsible, and trustworthy. He treated my home with respect and left everything in great condition. I appreciated his reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care for my pet. I would absolutely recommend Larry to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.

With Larry we have peace of mind our pets are receiving the best care; and our dogs are more peaceful and relaxed after each visit. He is so gentle and attentive to the special needs of our senior terrier, and makes individualized activity decisions based on how he is doing on any given day. He also ensures our young cattle dog gets his energy out, helping him get needed exercise and enrichment. Larry is great at communicating updates as well. TEN STARS!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
